The last vice-president to leave office early other than by death or coming indictment - John C. Calhoun. Not likely to happen now.

Was Spiro Agnew indicted?

No. He pled no contest and resigned. If he didn't, he would have been.

"Was Spiro Agnew indicted?"

Indicted, convicted and sentenced. Didn't he serve some time as well?

That's what I thought (tax evasion?)

>> Unlike John C. Calhoun, who resigned to take a seat in the Senate, Agnew resigned and then pled nolo contendere (no contest) to a criminal charge of tax evasion, part of a negotiated resolution to a scheme wherein he allegedly accepted $29,500 in bribes during his tenure as governor of Maryland. <<

>>The two men never spoke to each other again, although Agnew did attend Nixon's funeral in 1994.<<

Peeing doesn't count as speaking to someone.
